front axles

Thats a very old page with his old pricing. They are $85 plus shipping and core charge. These are rebuilt units of original axles and I install at least 3 a week here. Good stuff! I can supply them, he builds them in space in my shop. Call me at 720-440-1662 or email me at shawn@retroroo.com -

Sorry I have been so busy. You pick an appointment time and I will make it work. Almost any time from 11AM-11PM is ok. -
Those look just as good as 1600 pistons to me. I agree, its not worth boring an EA82 if you have access to others. Its not real hard to find one with 90K or less miles that would just be a reseal instead of a rebuild too.

http://www.amazon.com/Assenmacher-Specialty-Tools-201-Installer/dp/B00063UMZ4 With one of those, put the nut in a vise and twist the stud out. Usually re-usable at that point. The studs are 10x1.25. I only use Timeserts after having problems with Helicoils. They aren't a coil, they are a solid steel insert and they hold forever. I can ship you studs and nuts if your dealer is ridiculously far away or priced. In the meantime you could put bolts in to get you by a few days. Most hardware stores will have 10x1.25 bolts.

will ea81 coupe gas tank bolt up to a hatch?

I always wanted to do a saddle tank like Land Cruisers and safari guys have for one of these cars. Probably just too expensive though. -
Thats what the Subaru scan tool is interfaced with now and has been for a few years. Worked great but its still fragile.

Id ask Ken or somebody at Delta Cam I bet they have to take them off to do the cam job. I have tried pressing them off and they don't like to come off. If you could break the old one off in pieces and order a new one I bet that would work fine.

I just feel so lucky to live where they don't rust like that if they are cared for. Great pics, I too love the Before and afters. -
Keep at it with the house, youll finish! Good to see you back here.

A majority of them work just fine. Its mostly a matter of dialing it in which is frustrating at first but easy after the first 2 valves on each kind of head. Making an adapter to press thru the valve is done in my shop. I have multiple spacer adapters that I have made so that I don't have to set the spring compressor so often and just change adapters. Its as easy as a piece of pipe and slicing a window out of the side to put the keepers in thru. This way the compressor reaches down into the head to press it. My favorite compressor so far is a Matco one like mentioned above but the generic one I got from a general tool store works almost as well and was 1/3 the cost. I use both on a weekly basis.
